I Solve Expensive Problems

I bridge the gap between Grid Physics and High-Frequency Trading. With a Master's in Energy Engineering and years of building fintech infrastructure, I architect systems that handle millions in transaction volume with 99.999% uptime.

My work spans real-time settlement engines, prediction market match-engines, and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) control systems. I specialize in the intersection where milliseconds matter and failure is not an option.

Flagship Case Studies

Systems I've architected that handle real money and real-time data.

Trustap

The Challenge

Scaling a marketplace payment engine for Enterprise clients while maintaining regulatory compliance and handling high transaction volumes across multiple currencies.

The Solution

Architected a Schema-First BFF layer using OpenAPI specifications, implemented custom RBAC middleware for granular permission control, and designed event-driven settlement pipelines with PostgreSQL and Redis.

The Impact

  • Supported $5.5M Series A funding round
  • Reduced integration defects by 40% through schema validation
  • Maintained 99.999% uptime across payment infrastructure
  • Enabled 3x faster Enterprise client onboarding

Polymarket Engine

The Challenge

Building a prediction market match-engine capable of sub-millisecond tick-to-trade latency while handling concurrent order book mutations without race conditions.

The Solution

Replaced Redis locking with custom in-memory B-Trees optimized for order book operations. Implemented lock-free concurrency patterns in Go using atomic operations and channel-based coordination. Built Redis shadow ledgers for position reconciliation.

The Impact

  • Achieved deterministic execution with near-zero network overhead
  • Sub-millisecond tick-to-trade latency
  • Zero race conditions in concurrent order matching
  • Real-time position reconciliation across distributed nodes
